Kirill Pavlov (weightlifter) explained

Sport:Weightlifting

Kirill Pavlov (born 13 September 1986 in Alma-Ata, Kazakh SSR, Soviet Union) is Kazakhstani weightlifter competing in the 77 kg category.[1] He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, finishing 9th.[2] He won the silver medal at the 2010 Asian Games.[3]

He originally finished fourth in the clean and jerk and total at the 2014 World Weightlifting Championships, but gold medalist Daniel Godelli was disqualified after he tested positive for stanozolol use,[4] giving Pavlov two bronze medal performances.

He is notable in weightlifting for his unorthodox clean technique, with a very pronounced hitch at the hips and diving under the bar.[5]
